‘I need to be a part of their friend group, STAT … I’ve fallen in love with this fabulous foursome … They are a phenomenon!’
Drew Barrymore
‘LOVE The Old Gays … Love them so much!’
Paula Abdul
‘Upbeat [and] witty … though irreverent humor is the Old Gays’ bread and butter, they also reflect on faith, their struggles with homophobia, and surviving the AIDS crisis. The authors inspire fearlessness with their own exuberant attitudes. This risqué rule book celebrates making the most of life at any age’
